Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Chrome, that is your problem right there.
Sure it is. But I feel like you never used Photoshop. It sucks up all the RAM. It's more RAM intensive than any 3D software or browser I've ever used. (That is, except for Substance Painter, which is also in the Adobe family now unfortunately)
Also code development programs.
Code OSS (VSCode) in distrobox with clangd language server and NCS for embedded development sucks up like 8GB of my 32 just having 6 or so files open once you start building because it keeps builds in RAM or something. It balloons fast at least lol
At least those are handling actual data you're doing serious work with.
Chrome is something I'd mostly be using for a few bits (well maybe Kbits) of reference text. I blame the websites as much as chrome itself. I assume the OS is smart enough to cache that somewhere though when I want the ram for something else.
MS teams is just siting there eating c.1gb for nothing but to be an annoying pos. Outlook doing the same but not as much resources I think.
But it's true when I have to kill a task it is much more likely to be one where I've knowingly put several GB of data into ram to do stuff with.
How is literally running the slowest.
